Postgres 8.2.5 compilation problem on OpenSolaris/Solaris - Mailing list pgsql-general

Hi everyone,

I am trying to get the postgresql 8.2.5 version working on my opensolaris nv 73 server.

The configuration information is as follows:

SunOS db03nge0 5.11 snv_73 i86pc i386 i86pc
$ isainfo -v
64-bit amd64 applications
        ahf sse3 sse2 sse fxsr amd_3dnowx amd_3dnow amd_mmx mmx cmov amd_sysc
        cx8 tsc fpu
32-bit i386 applications
        ahf sse3 sse2 sse fxsr amd_3dnowx amd_3dnow amd_mmx mmx cmov amd_sysc
        cx8 tsc fpu
GNU Make 3.81 - compiled from source
OpenSSL 0.9.8d 28 Sep 2006 - compiled from source
readline-5.2 - library compiled from source
Sun Studio compiler: Sun C 5.9 SunOS_i386 2007/05/03
postgresql-8.2.5 source tar.gz

I have compiled the openssl, readline and gnumake in 64 bit mode. The options which I used while compiling them were
"-m64 -KPIC -xmodel=medium"


The options which I am using to configure the makefile are:

./configure --prefix=/usr/local --with-perl --with-openssl --with-libraries=/usr/local/lib --with-includes=/usr/local/include --libdir=/usr/local/lib --includedir=/usr/local/include --enable-integer-datetimes CFLAGS="-m64 -KPIC -xmodel=medium"

The configure process does not report any errors. The make process also works fine. I do see the following message:

All of PostgreSQL successfully made. Ready to install.

Now, when I try to run "make check", I get the following "Segmentation Fault" error.

mkdir ./testtablespace
./pg_regress --temp-install=./tmp_check --top-builddir=../../.. --temp-port=55432 --schedule=./parallel_schedule --multibyte=SQL_ASCII --load-language=plpgsql

I wonder if anyone can give any suggestions to deal with it. BTW, I have also tried to compile it on Solaris 10 u3, but it still fails at the same point.

Any help would be much appreciated.
